CHRISTMAS MARKET SEASON

The Brits really love their Christmas Markets. They are full of yummy decadent foods, great hand made items perfect for gifting, and basically Charlie and the Chocolate Factory worth of candy shops. Newcastle has one and it is cute but on Saturday I went on a school sponsored trip to Leeds for their Christmas Market, which was AWESOME.

We had all day to kill so we flittered in and out of shops and just explored the city a bit. It was COLD, like tights under my leggings cold but nothing a few mugs of mulled wine could not handle. The sun was out and shining and hey there was no rain this time! I ate a lot of wonderful things on sticks, ate too many sweets and let me kid flag fly and rode the most beautiful carousel. It was a pretty solid day, exploring another part of England!
